Samsung Engineering, one of the world’s leading engineering, procurement, construction and project management (EPC&PM) companies, announced today, that it signed around $4 billion USD contract for the Thai Oil Public Company Limited’s (Thai Oil) Clean Fuel Project (CFP) in Thailand. The order was received with Petrofac Limited (Petrofac) as leader and Saipem S.p.A. (Saipem) as consortium partner.

Major new process units include Crude Distillation Unit (CDU), Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU), Hydrocracker Unit (HCU) as well as a Residue Hydrocracker Unit (RHCU). Further, the scope of work includes improvements and expansion on the existing facility and provision of the utilities and supportive facilities to this project. The project is expected to be completed over a period of approximately four years.

With this order, Samsung Engineering has expanded its business relationship with Thai Oil and strengthened the base of the Thai market.
